    2000 model 200 Ocean Pro timer base

    I have been chasing down a rough idle problem and a sputter in the mid RPM range. Today I was looking at things under the cowl. I check the butterflies were all shut and that the timing pickup roller had a gap between the roller and the cam. I forget the spec, but the gap was tight and the...

    225 Ocean Pro compression check

    2000 225 Ocean Pro. Is there something I can unplug to disable the ignition system to do a compression check? Or do I really need to go through the hassle of grounding all the spark plug leads?

    225 Ocean Pro cam follower roller

    2000 225 Johnson Ocean Pro. I was reading on here a couple days ago about the clear plastic breaking off the cam follower roller leaving only the black piece behind. Is it OK to do the "gap adjustments" over with that piece missing? Or do I need to break down and buy that part? There is about...

    2000 225 Johnson Ocean Pro sync. question

    I was reading through the shop manual last night and found that the clearance on my cam pick up was off. There was about a 1/8" gap between the cam and cam follower. Per the manual, it says that gap should be .005 in. So, I followed the entire procedure for the carb. sync., got all the linkages...

    Overheat alarm test

    2005 Merc 60hp ELPTO. Is there and easy and quick way to see if my overheat alarm is working? I just removed my thermostat and found the cage broken off on both sides.

    Tachometer switch setting

    I recently got a new to me 2005 Mercury 60hp 2 stroke ELPTO. The engine came with prop, controls and all the gauges. My question is in regards to the tachometer. The tach is a Faria 7000 RPM tach and the switch is currently set to "4" for a 10 pole alt. If I am reading Faria's instructions...

    2002 MFS25A noise in neutral and 2300 to 3000 RPM

    So, I finally get this thing running good, get the boat propped right and my first real problem occurred while on a 5 day vacation last week! While idling the engine is noticeably loud, but it is smooth running. When you put it in gear, the noise goes away and it's super quiet and smooth. Also...

    Prop Question 2002 MFS25a

    Currently running a 10/11 turning point prop. Max. RPMs with full fuel and just me in the boat only 5300 to 5500 RPM under optimal conditions.

    Corrosion questions

    I have a 2002 MFS25A. The engine is primarily used in salt water and I thoroughly wash and flush and wash after each use. I have noticed some "paint bubbling" where the control cables exit the lower cowling (where the shifter would be if it were tiller). There is obviously corrosion below the...

    PTC Heater

    I was reading something about these the other day. It is interesting, because when I went to sync my carbs a few months ago, I remember having a hell of a time getting the top carb to cooperate. And to this day, it takes some finagling to get it to start. Once it's been running, it fires up...

    2002 MFS25A not charging?

    Like the title says. It's not charging. When I first got the engine, I could put a meter on the battery and the voltage would slowly increase over time. Now I put a meter on there and nothing happens and the voltage is low to begin with. Today I had to pull start it to get it going. The weird...

    Tohatsu Carb leak

    2002 25hp Tohatsu 4 stroke. Runs beautifully, no issues in that department. BUT, I have a fuel leak on the lower carb. The engine has 3 carbs and the lower carb is leaking lots of gas out of what looks like an "accelerator pump". Facing the carbs, there is a linkage that connects all three...
